The Prince Rupert Container Port and Its Impact on Northern British Columbia
Canadian Political Science Review 2(4) December 2008 Transformation, Transportation or Speculation? The Prince Rupert Container Port and its Impact on Northern British Columbia Gary N. Wilson and Tracy Summerville (University of Northern British Columbia)1 Abstract2 Much of the discussion around the port development in Prince Rupert has focused on the positive impacts that the container port will have on the regional economy. As the opening quote suggests, the port is being hailed a piece of “transformational infrastructure”, creating numerous opportunities for economic diversification in northern British Columbia. In this sense, therefore, it is widely expected that the container port will help to move the northern economy beyond the type of traditional resource dependency outlined by scholars such as Harold Innis (Drache, 1995). This article argues, however, that there are at least two other potential outcomes or scenarios concerning the port’s development and its impact on northern British Columbia which call into question some of the assumptions made by the port’s proponents. First, the port might be a great success as a gateway to a transportation corridor that stretches across western Canada and into the United States, but have little or no positive impact on the northern British Columbia economy. Second, the port might not live up to the expectations that have been set nationally or locally neither as a transportation gateway nor as a piece of transformational infrastructure “The port has been described not only as transportation infrastructure, but as ‘transformational infrastructure’ because it’s going to transform northern BC’s economy.” (Vancouver Sun, January 14, 2005).

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AROUND INTERMODAL FACILITIES in CANADA William P
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AROUND INTERMODAL FACILITIES IN CANADA William P. Anderson and Sarah M. Dunphy, University of Windsor Introduction Freight distribution systems have changed significantly due in large part to the globalization of production. Expanding international trade has led to growth in both marine container shipments and air cargo. This has led, in turn, to development of new systems of surface transportation whereby goods in international trade move from their points of origins to marine ports and airports and then ultimately to their points of destination. These systems are characterized by the emergence of spatial clusters of logistics-intensive activities that serve a variety of functions. (For a review see Sheffi, 2012.) Some of these clusters have become engines of regional economic growth. Based on cases like Alliance Texas Global Logistics Hub and Centerpoint Intermodal Center in Illinois, each of which has close to 30,000 direct employees, many regional governments and develop- ment authorities have defined the establishment of clustered trans- portation and logistics activities as major components of regional economic plans. The proliferation of recent and ongoing feasibility studies points to the prominence of logistics clusters in development planning in the US and Canada (McMaster, 2009; Boile et al., 2009; De Cerreño et al., 2008; Harrison et al., 2005). This paper presents an initial exploration of the potential of logistics clusters as regional economic growth engines in Canada. It begins with a review of the “inland port” concept, whereby clusters develop around intermodal facilities connected to ocean ports. This is followed with a review of the main ocean ports and intermodal 1 Anderson & Dunphy facilities in Canada.

The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland Ports with Gateways and Corridors in Western Canada
The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland Ports with Gateways and Corridors in Western Canada Jean-Paul Rodrigue, PhD Van Horne Researcher in Transportation and Logistics Professor, Hofstra University April 2012 2 Executive Summary This report provides an analysis of the major trends in the containerization of commodities and looks at its commercial potential and operational hurdles. The setting of inland ports in Western Canada is seen as a strategy to help reconcile import (retail dominated) and export (commodities dominated) logistics. The containerization of commodities involves the development and expansion of a niche market that can fluctuate according to the price of the respective commodities, the nature and extent of the demand and container shipping rates. All of these are commodity specific and will convey new opportunities for commodity exporters and buyers alike. The last decade have been prone to the containerization of commodities as container shipping rates remained relatively constant while the price of most commodity groups doubled or tripled. Containerization enables a better level of inventory management of commodities. Yet, the availability of containers is a recurring challenge since maritime shipping companies, as dominant managers of containerized assets, will allocate them where there are commercial opportunities to recoup the costs of having these containers circulating outside their shipping and port networks. A growing level of intermodal integration is being observed in Western Canada, which reflects a trend observed across North America and elsewhere around the world. Inland ports are likely to be the missing multiplying effect that would encourage maritime shipping companies to have a larger number of containerized assets moving inland.

WORKING TOGETHER Report of the Capital Region Integrated Growth Management Plan Project Team
WORKING TOGETHER Report of the Capital Region Integrated Growth Management Plan Project Team Acknowledgements The Capital Region Integrated Growth Management Plan project has been an extremely complex one, made more demanding by the very tight timelines established by the Government of Alberta. While a project of this nature is never quite finished – additional work is always needed and additional people always need to be consulted – this report and its recommendations were completed within the deadline. This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of a long list of people inside and outside of government, many of whom still had full time jobs to attend to even while they assisted with this project. It is not possible to recognize everyone who contributed to the study and the recommendations, but there are some who deserve special mention. They are as follows: Project Management Committee Chair of land use and core infrastructure: Brian Marcotte, Consultant Chair of social infrastructure: Susan Williams, Assistant Deputy Minister, Workforce Supports Division, Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry Chair of Governance: Gordon Sloan, Partner, ADR Education Assistant Project Manager: Diane Simsovic, Senior Director, Advanced Industries Unit, on loan from Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry Advisors (in alphabetical order): o Margaret Bateman, Calder Bateman Communications o Karen Bergman, Senior Manager, Strategic Policy, Treasury Board Secretariat o Christine Couture, Executive Director of Labour

At 35,000 ft., it can be unnerving, even scary at times. But everyone knows it’s a normal part of flying, and getting from A to B isn’t always smooth sailing. 2016 was that kind of year for our province, our region and our airport. Alberta’s economy hit some turbulence and it was a rough ride for many sectors. EIA was not immune from the impact of the economic downturn. But if there’s one thing we know about the people of our province, region and EIA is that we’re resilient. When we are faced with adversity is when we shine the brightest. It’s when we reach out to our neighbours to build more bridges and fewer fences. It’s when, together, we rise above. 2016 6 BOARD CHAIR’S MESSAGE An airport is a mirror of its community. An airport reflects its region’s personality and helps drive its economy and forward its goals. Arguably, an airport’s biggest job is to maintain a position of economic strength and confidence, regardless of — in spite of — external conditions. This was Edmonton Airports’ challenge this year. Although the provincial economy has seen peaks and year and generating nearly $1.2 billion in Gross Domestic valleys over the last generation, the economic downturn Product (GDP).
